How to draw Spiderman body outline

How to draw Spiderman

Ready
to learn how to draw Spiderman? Hi Spiderman lovers and welcome to this
tutorial dedicated to the friendly Superhero! I know you are excited
and you want to start but let me tell you what you are going to learn
if you follow the following instructions.

Drawing
Spiderman means basically been able to draw a human male with an
appropriate costume (putting aside for a while the fancy poses that
spidey can show off). I will assume that you can reasonably draw a
human character here and focus instead on drawing the costume which,
honestly, can be a bit tricky if not tackled right.

Let's get started friends!

How to draw Spiderman - Set up the costume

In
this tutorial I'll provide a generic silouette of a hero character and
we'll progressively "clothe" it with the Spiderman costume. To download
the silouette just "save the image as" using the right click of the
mouse.

As you can see a basic shape I have drawn myself that you can actually
use for other projects if you wish. The first thing we are going to do
is defining the outline of Spiderman costume using a red line.

Ok really easy so far. One important, very important thing is that
when you draw on the body, you should try to follow the shape of the
body. See for example the two lines on the calf muscles.

They are not straight but curved, they follow the natural curvature of
the leg at that particular angle and perspective. Same thing with the
lines that define the chest portion of the costume and the forearm ones.

I
will not repeat myself over and over but try t apply this rule to the
next steps as well and you will draw an amazing looking costume. Do not
follow it and the costume will look flat and weird looking. It will not
fit the character.

How to draw Spiderman - drawing the web 01

Next step is defining the center of the web! If you have not noticed
it, Spider's costume has a single web covering it that has its center
exactly in the middle of the face. So you need to find the approximate
center of the face and put a spot in it.

From
there draw approximately 7 lines for each side of the face. I say
approximately because there is no defined rule and various artist will
use different number of lines and slightly different structure of the
web. Done it? Let's move on then.

How to draw Spiderman - drawing the web 02

When you are done with the face I press you to move onto the chest,
forearms and legs before refining the face. I know you could be tempted
but please resist and continue expanding the web on the chest and
limbs. This will help obtaining a more consistent drawing.

This might be a laborious part so take your time.

When
you draw the lines on the chest and limbs again try to follow the shape
of the body. Moreover try to keep in mind that the rays of the web tend
to diverge and do not run parallels. So from the eck try to make these
rays diverge slightly. More on the next img.

How to draw Spiderman - drawing the web 03

From the neck, first draw the radial part of the web and then draw
the concentric circles. At this stage imagine being the neck the center
of the web and draw the concentric circles from there. It's easier this
way.

Take your time, it is important to do this job carefully if you want to achieve a good result.

Finished with the chest? Good! Time to do the same work on the head.

Start
drawing concentric circles (well they are not exactly circles but you
get the point) from the center of the web. Draw 3 - 4 circles at least
and, again, try to follow the shape of the head.

At this point it can be useful to sketch in the eyes of Spiderman. I
have used the green to show them clearly here but you do not need to
draw them green. Keep them loose now, they will serve the purpose to be
able to know where to "knit" the web! (I'll explain in a sec).

How to draw Spiderman - joining the nodes!

Now
that you have an outline of the underlying structure of the web that
covers Spidey's costume, it is time to actually give this undefined
mesh the shape of a real web.

To do so you
just need to join the nodes of the mesh that lie on the same circles
with a curved line. Let me show how easy it is!

Stat from the first circle on the center of the face, just amongst
the eyes and move from that on. Following the "mesh" structure draw
short, curved lines connecting two nodes at a time; complete a circle
and move to the subsequent one. You have to finish the whole body s
take your time and I'll see you in a little while!

How to draw Spiderman - More joining!

See how cool it looks when you are done? It is worth the effort!

We
are almost there my friend. Now I am going to apply a bit of red'n blue
color to the old Spidey and the crucial stylized spider on the chest!
Hold your breath and prepare to the final result!

How to draw Spiderman - complete the drawing

At this stage I have just filled Spiderman with the
basic flat colors of the costume. Nothing fancy here. In the next step
I will refine the eyes (still green at the moment) and add a bit of
shadow.

This is just a detail of the head and chest with the final eyes and the
stylized spider on the chest. Notice I have also added a bit of shadow
to give the idea of the muscles underneath the costume and to define
the shape of the nose under the mask.

And there you have the final result! Hope you liked this tutorial on how to draw Spiderman and stay tuned, more to come soon!

Nice post. I've always struggled with the web design on Spider-Man's costume--especially from the side, where you see how the web conforms to the side of his head. Comic book artists change it over the years, also, in order to keep it modern and fresh. Thanks!
